Relic Weapons Easier to Obtain?

If you were able to quest and repeat quest for even a single 1 coin in dynamis currency, the whole system would be broken, everyone who upgraded even the first stage of a relic weapon would have wasted their time since they could've just waited and quested it.

You can already get dynamis coins from the fishing quest in buburimu peninsula.

What I meant by "breaking the game" is if they chose to destroy the dynamis currency economy solely for the sake of perpetuating the role playing aspect of it being in the past. The currency still being gil has nothing to do with the storyline and everything to do with common sense to keep things simple. You can rationalize it however you want lol. How are you going to rationalize that you will be able to buy something from the WoTG city auction house that will be tied to the Jeuno/Taz/Whitegate auction house? It's not supposed to make sense or fit with the storyline continuity. They are only going to carry the time travel theme and make explanations for it so far before they draw a line.

Actually, gil does fit the storyline, as I already explained. It did exist back then, so its perfectly viable for Gil to be the common currency. As to how the Auctionhouse can be tied to the future...

Moogles are magical beings, seriously. What other animals can carry 160 beds between 9 different locations in the blink of an eye and still call you "Kupo" without asking for any kind of payment. And hell, the fact that they dance in happiness whenever a Galka changes job and ends up naked in front of them will always remain a mystery. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if the moogles have some hidden power of super speed to bring the entire AH to every corner of the world in the blink of an eye, including the time rifts the adventurers travel to to end up in the past. Hell, I bet a single moogle could solo Dynamis - Xarcabard in the blink of an eye and bring endless destruction to the world if they so wanted. Hell, if they ever decided to start a riot by stealing our mog lockers and mog safe and cast Meteor XIV on us, I'm sure not even the combined forces of beastmen and man could stop them.

And Gatttsu, who said anything of repeatable quests? A quest that you can only do once that that takes the normal 1H or more to complete that rewards you a single dynamis currency, like most ToAU quests only reward you a single bronze coin, will hardly be game breaking. Hell, a repeatable quest that takes 1 hour to do, once every day, with 10c as a reward, wouldn't be game breaking either, as it would take 1840 days to upgrade a relic weapon that way. The only game breaking thing about it, would be that it could lower the price of coins. But assuming it would give you 1 coin as a reward, it wouldn't change the game in any way.

Not to mention they run the delivery box service and never skim a little off the top to buy miss moogle some nice jewelry.
 
even if the currency was obtainable from the new expansion, people would still have to do dynamis for materials, attestations and other stuff^^(like getting the relic weapon (delay 999 weapons))

I'd honestly forgotten about this, but it only seems to provide a few bynes per attempt at best, just providing one type of currency isn't too bad, the story would be different if it enabled you to get any dynamis currency you wanted without ever setting foot in dynamis. What I was referring to was along the lines of some of the ToAU quests that pay out bronze pieces and are easily repeatable a few times an hour or more, if a quest in the new expansion were to make dynamis currency obtainable on such an easy quest that can be done multiple times per day/hour, that would almost completely break the whole system of how relic weapons are obtained.

Edit: took me forever to research that fishing quest and finish my response.

Uzor, I see your point, the lowering of coin prices would definitely hurt dynamis shells in the long run though, whoever killed the old 10k/coin market and settled the prices per each type of currency as it is now(6k/byne, 8k/bronze, etc..) has already hurt dynamis shells, they now have to sell more of the coins just to make enough to get back into dynamis for the next run.

Since you have all the answers Uzor, please give us a thesis on the following mystery in FFXI. How does the act of touching one's right buttcheek, followed by throwing your empty hand into the air, and having the image of a hamburger appear over your head (which only you yourself can see) = eating? Also cite specific instances in documented FFXI lore which show the reasoning why some races/sexes simply rest their hand on their right buttcheek while others perform an odd scratching motion before the empty hand toss. Your footnotes will be checked thoroughly by our student teachers to make sure there is no plagiarism.
 
someone has obviously not seen the southpark episode where cartman shoved food up his ass so that shit came out his mouth.

They put their hand on their right buttcheeck to pick up the small flare they have there, which naturally takes some time to find. And then they have to program it too so that they get the moogle to fetch the right item. However, due to the bad reception in their back pocket, they need to stretch the device up in the air in order to get a good reception. If only they'd have spent more time upgrading from Telia to 3G...

anyway, the moogle then comes to you at super-speed like they normally do, and gives you the item. However, you can't simply eat the entire food at once, since that would take too long time, and would interrupt your precious exp flow, so you take a bite every now and then from it during your exp party. Unless you die, off course. The enemy will then finally get what he fought you so hard for, and will swallow it whole. They don't actually get any food themselves, so they fight adventurers for it. And naturally, since you can't hold the hamburger in your hand while you hold the sword to hit the enemy, what better place to store it then in your helmet or hair?

That's why Colibris can steal your food without creating immense damage to your throat and stomach by thrusting their beak down there. they just have to steal it from your secret hiding place in your helm or hair. And since no one knows where you hide your food, since obviously only you thought of hiding it in your helm or hair, only you can see it.
 
All well worded and documented however...

no sources or reference page?!
 
I stole it from the Royal Library in San d'Oria. Sadly, I can not reveal the name of the book, nor my location, in fear that the Royal Knights will find me.

Did you know that Vana'Diel is actually named after the first human, our first mother, Vanna Diel, Vana'Diel for short?
 
Vin diesel?
 
You would still have to endure time and patience on a minumum of 6 dynamis runs. Although I guess some people could get their linkshell to just get them the stuff they need. But I originally said 25 dynamis coins farmed per day, I was meaning like you spent 8 hours a day 365 days a year farming dynamis coins. Add in another 4 hours for dynamis 2 days a week and you've still gone well into a second year of working on a relic weapon.

The current currency of gil was accepted, but shouldn't there be an abundance of ancient currency still floating around? I think my point is, I can't imagine how SE could let us go back in time to when the currency was still accepted and not allow us another way of obtaining the coins. Not like everyone just up and said one day, all these coins are worthless we'll just get rid of them and use gil because the coins were still worth something. Which leads me to believe there may be a ancient coin->gil gil-> ancient coin currency converter. They have coin conversion npcs already in the game, all doing so would mean the price on ancient coins would have an exact figure translation in gil, which would mean no more fluctuating prices on coins.

No, his wife, Vana'Diel. no one actually knows he's had a wife by the name Vana'Diel, as she were not allowed to leave the house. However, once someone saw there was movement in his house, he blantly denied it, and she "disappeared". But in reality, she was hidden in an unknown world, which happen to be Vana'Diel, and hence the name.

Sharper claws, Not to mention the composition of their tails.

The Rams are actually rather weak, they just touch you gently with their noses trying to scare you off. The rabbits on the other hand claw you and whip their tails at you.

They're not calling you a kupo. It's a sound they make.

I know it's easy to make that mistake. Maybe you had /sarcasm on?
 
You guys are looking at this backwards.

WotG will not REWARD players with Ancient currency, it will USE ancient currency.

I have a feeling this is how SE intends to "Revitalize" Dynamis.

In order to buy stuff in the past you need to get currency in Dynamis and take it back to the past to get stuff.
 
frankly i dont care if they make teh currency a tad easier to get considerng the sheer amount of people that bought gil to make a relic weapon.
If it still costs far more than most people can ever earn to upgrade a relic weapon then the "rarity" aspect of the relic still remains.

Wouldn't it need to drop a lot more frequently for that to be feasible?
